Support Programs

Grampians Regional Communication Service

This service was established to support communities in the Grampians region to become communication accessible. We provide information, training and resources to businesses and services within the community to assist people who are unable to communicate effectively using speech alone.

Individually funded Services

We offer individual and group therapy services on a self funded basis. This means you can choose to purchase services yourself if you would like to. Some people may be able to access funding through the Medicare benefits scheme to help with the cost of these services.

Parent Support Groups

Groups are open to parents or carers who care for a child or adult with disability. We provide an opportunity to share experiences and learn from others, form friendships, hear about local services, and gain information about specific disabilities and issues related to caring. The groups and their activities frequently change to suit the needs of participants.

Family Options Program

We offer short-term or long-term alternative family placements for children and young people, who are unable to live with their own families. Each individual is matched with an alternative family who provides care for them in their family home on a long term or short term basis or on a shared-care basis with the biological parents. Eligible families are identified via case management.

Community Therapy

We provide short term, episodic occupational therapy, physiotherapy and speech therapy. We also provide consultancy and support to organisations and professionals working with people with disabilities.
